Lichaj hasn't been retained.

I took it from the OS. Smeg knows why in an announcement saying he is leaving they left him in the current squad list.

Regarding Hutton, is there any hope for redemption?

We can only beg the footballing God's forgiveness for employing him.

Yes, as long as he finds another club.

The reason Hutton and Ireland are still there is so we can get get money from their transfers, it's not like they're getting back into the team.

I cannot for the life of me imagine Ireland and Hutton being here come the end of August. They have been told in no uncertain terms they are no longer part of the club. Bent and Given will be sold to the highest bidder, and Brett Holman I'm also pretty sure will need to find a new home. After that there's a good chance that Enda Stevens will be out on loan or sold. I reckon Fonz might be given another shot.

LOL! Actually it's because we haven't found anyone else willing to pay their ludicrous wages.

Does a loan player qualify for this? Surely his contract is with spurs not us?

I think that squad list is a lot more interesting than it first appears.

28 players.
Lichaj is an error
Seigrist is 21
Carruthers is 20
The rest all have to be registered, and there are 25 places.

So we currently can't buy anyone over 21 without having to sell someone/leave someone out of the squad.

It's a sell to buy situation, the press will have a field day!

I don't think that's true is it? Aren't all homegrown players counted in the same way as under 21 year olds? We've got tons of them.
